Lima Gold Dwarf Japanese Maple, Bonsai Starter Acer Tree - Live Plant

Add bright seasonal color and refined Japanese maple character to your garden with Acer palmatum 'Lima Gold', a beautiful dwarf Japanese Maple prized for its tiny, seven-lobed leaves, dense upright habit, and striking fall color. 'Lima Gold' is an excellent choice for gardeners who want the elegance of a Japanese maple without the size of a traditional landscape tree. Its compact form and miniature foliage make it especially appealing for small gardens, rock gardens, containers, patios, and bonsai. The cultivar was discovered by Dick Wolff of Red Maple Nursery in Lima, Pennsylvania. The main attraction of 'Lima Gold' Japanese Maple is its delicate foliage. New growth emerges in a fresh yellow-green to bright lime-green, creating a luminous appearance in spring. The foliage generally matures toward a richer green through summer before transforming into beautiful golden-yellow, yellow-orange, and sometimes orange-red tones in fall.
